[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 2289032, member: 100904"] In some areas, including where Ilive, NHS has contracted out audiology to Specsavers. I have regular hearing checks with them, and have my third set of hearing aids. The contract is for full hearing assessment, provision of any necessary hearing aids, and then regular maintenence. The contract is for three years. There has been no problem with having a new contract every three years, when I have a full hearing assessment again. I would not recommend approaching any audiology service such as Specsavers without a GP referral, though. The service I have had has suited me fine, and when a problem was detected I was reffered to a consultant in ENT dept of local hospital for full investigation and MRI scan. [/QUOTE]
